Mutate now, die later. Evolutionary dynamics with delayed selection.

Abstract excerpt

We analyze here the evolutionary consequences of selection with delay in a population genetics context. In the classical works on evolutionary dynamics, an individual produces off-springs in direct proportion to its fitness, a process in which mutations may occur. In the present scenario of delayed selection, individuals that acquire deleterious mutations can still reproduce unharmed for several generations....
